Games People Play
Decoding Life's Chessboard: Games People Play
Lyrics
Oh the games people now ev'ry night and ev'ry day now
People engage in games consistently, both day and night.
Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
They often don't express their true intentions and meanings.
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
People spend time idly in their privileged positions.
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine
Eventually, they face consequences and are mourned in a limousine.
Lotten da la da yda da lotten da la a dee de dee
Repeating nonsensical sounds, emphasizing the superficiality of communication.
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
Talking about the deceptive nature of human relationships.
Oh we make one another cry break a heart then we say goodbye
People cause each other pain, break hearts, and part ways.
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
Despite promises, individuals refuse to take responsibility for the relationship's failure.
But neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
No one is willing to compromise, and both parties reflect on what could have been.
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame
Expressing regret for missed opportunities and the unfortunate state of affairs.
Lotten da la da da da...
Repeating nonsensical sounds, continuing the theme of superficial communication.
People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
People approach you with religious fervor, attempting to impose their beliefs.
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They use religion as a tool to manipulate and control.
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate
They promote alternative practices and reject negativity.
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board
An invitation to reject hate and join a positive movement.
Lotten da la da da da...
Repeating nonsensical sounds, emphasizing the ongoing theme of superficiality.
Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
Observing the changes in society and questioning their impact.
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
Seeking serenity to remember one's true self amidst societal changes.
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
Warning against sacrificing sanity for pride and vanity.
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a lot da da
Criticizing the turning away from humanity and indifference.
Lotten da la da da da...
Repeating nonsensical sounds, underscoring the theme of empty communication.
Lotten da la da da da...
Continuation of meaningless sounds, perhaps highlighting the cyclic nature of superficial interactions.
